I'll take more photos as I get time!
Runs GREAT! Little bit of black smoke when I get on it but more greyish-black then black.
Starts RIGHT up in the cold.

Thanks!

The nice thing is they are easy to adjust/modify to get it where you want! I've seen 10 degrees so far and still started(with a little more crank time) and I dont have the intake heater hooked up yet. I occasionally have plugged it in when I knew it was going to be close to single digits, more to have defrost and heat sooner than starting.

See my signature. I converted my V10 Excursion. Probably the best mod I have done in over twenty years of tinkering. The power and fuel mileage are awesome!

Do you have any pics of rear valve cover clearance .The way it looks it will be a pain the the azz to get the rear cover off . My brothers truck has a cummins in it gut it has a 3inch body lift so there is all kinds of room in it. I'm planning on not haveing a body lift and that is why I'm looking for pics.
